A Sobering Thought

Art Rob Gonsalves



Everything can change in the blink of an eye. [Rebbe Nachman of Breslov]


"Do not drink wine that will lead to intoxication, neither you nor your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of Meeting, so that you shall not die. [This is] an eternal statute for your generations..." [Shemini 10:9]

There is a view [see Rambam, Laws of Entering the Temple 1:7] that even nowadays a priest [kohen] may not drink a revi'is [86ml] of wine, for this is sufficient to cause some degree of intoxication, and since it is quite feasible that the Holy Temple will be rebuilt within the time it takes for him to become sober, the wine would thus render him unfit for service in the Temple.

Now, according to Jewish law, intoxication caused by a revi'is of wine can be removed by either a short sleep, or by waiting the time it would take to walk a mil. (There are different views as to precisely how long this is: either 18 or at most 24 minutes).

From here we see a remarkable ramification of the above principle: that Jewish law takes seriously into consideration the fact that it is possible for Moshiach to come, with a completed Holy Temple, within a maximum of 23 minutes and 59 seconds, thus requiring the priests to be ready for service immediately!

Based on Likutei Sichos Lubavitcher Rebbe [Gutnick Chumash]

  3. Hi I wrote a lil something recently trying to decipher Daniel chapter 8 connecting with current events, tell me what u think...

    Iran ram with 2 horns goring all directions, no one can stand before it

    Goat from west with conspicuous horn between eyes without touching ground destroys ram ..U.S.- Trump vs Iran

    The goat becomes very very big ..the big horn falls off to become 4 horns pointing to the four corners of heaven #NewWorldOrder run by the U.S.

    A small horn emerges from one of the small horns. ...and becomes very big until heaven and it trampels holiness and holy people and his horn will reach eretz yisroel is very proud and smart and thru intelligence will let the deceit in his hand to grow and will destroy many in peaceful times. Musk? Doge? (He comes without strength but thru intelligence) And over the prince of princes (Jews) he will stand, and without strength he will be broken

    This will go on for 2,300 days (6.3 yrs)

    This is an end times chapter Daniel chapter 8 Where he clearly says the ram is Iran ..and the goat is the west
